Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing plate holding apparatus whereby a printing plate wound on a plate cylinder is held securely thereon in a rotary press.
  • a sleeve cylinder exchangeable variable printer in which a printing images different in a vertical length are printed on a continuous web of paper is known from JP 2014 - 91301 A .
  • Printing machines of this sort have been designed to exchange sleeve cylinders in a manual operation. Needs therefore arise to reduce the thickness of a sleeve cylinder as thin as possible in order to reduce its weight.
  • the patent document mentioned above shows in Figs. 4 and 5, and describes in connection therewith, an insertable printing plate which uses no plate clamping or winding bar but in which a grip leading end and a grip trailing end of the printing plate may be inserted simply in a groove on the sleeve cylinder for mounting the printing plate thereon.
  • An object to be achieved of the present invention is to provide a printing plate holding apparatus which during a high speed printing operation reduces vibrations and noises caused in a groove for having a grip leading end and a grip trailing end of a printing plate inserted therein, which can fasten the printing plate with greater certainty, and which is suitable for a plate cylinder having such as a sleeve cylinder whose weight reduction is demanded.
  • a printing plate holding apparatus in which a printing plate wound on a plate cylinder is held securely thereon in a rotary press, and which comprises: a plate insertion groove formed on an outer peripheral surface of the plate cylinder and extending axially of the plate cylinder for having a grip leading end and a grip trailing end of the printing plate inserted into the plate insertion groove; and a printing plate retainer plate and a tap bolt for bringing both widthwise lateral end portions of the grip leading and trailing ends of the printing plate into overlapping each other in the plate insertion groove and for pressing and fastening them against a constraint surface with which the grip trailing end is in contact in the plate insertion groove.
  • the plate cylinder may comprise a rotating shaft and a sleeve cylinder removably mounted on the rotating shaft so that it can be fitted on, and extracted from, the rotating shaft, and the plate insertion groove is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the sleeve cylinder.
  • the plate insertion groove has a width that is a size in which 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm is added to a sum of plate thicknesses of the grip leading and trailing ends of the printing plate.
  • the printing plate retainer plate is formed with a tapped hole passing therethrough and having a thread diameter identical to that of the tap bolt, and the tap bolt has a body under its head, the body having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the tapped hole in the printing plate retainer plate in an interval longer than a plate thickness of the printing plate retainer plate.
  • both widthwise lateral end portions of a printing plate fitted on a plate cylinder are securely held on the plate cylinder with a printing plate retainer plate, it is not necessary to increase the groove width by amount of thicknesses of such press fitting members described above, thereby providing a printing plate holding apparatus which during a high speed printing operation reduces bounces (vibrations) and noises caused in a groove for having a grip leading and a grip trailing end of a printing plate inserted therein, which can fasten the printing plate with greater certainty and which is suitable for the printing plate to be firmly held on such as a sleeve cylinder whose weight reduction is required.
  • Fig. 1 shows a plate cylinder 2.
  • the plate cylinder 2 consists of a rotating shaft 20 rotatably supported by bearing members 10 and 11 mounted on main frames 1a and 1b, and of a sleeve cylinder 3.
  • the sleeve cylinder 3 comprises a cylinder body 33 having a plurality of ribs 32 in the form of centrally opened annular disks formed on an inner peripheral surface of a cylinder body 31 and axially spaced apart from one another.
  • the sleeve cylinder 3 is removably mounted on the rotating shaft 20 so that it can be fitted on, and extracted from, the rotating shaft 20.
  • the sleeve cylinder 3 (cylinder body 33) for the plate cylinder 2 is formed on its outer peripheral surface with a plate insertion groove 4 which extends axially and into which a grip leading end 5a and a grip trailing end 5b of an insertable printing plate 5 may be inserted.
  • the grip leading end 5a of the insertable printing plate 5 is inserted into the plate insertion groove 4 as shown in Fig. 3A so that the printing plate 5 is wound onto the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve cylinder 3 as shown in Fig. 3B .
  • the grip trailing end 5b of the insertable printing plate 5 is inserted into the plate insertion groove 4 to attach the insertable printing plate 5 to the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve cylinder 3.
  • the plate insertion groove 4 needs to be of an adequate depth sufficient to accept an adequate length of the grip leading end 5a and the grip trailing end 5b of the insertable printing plate 5.
  • the sleeve cylinder 3 (cylindrical body 31) is made thin because of its weight reduction.
  • the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve cylinder 3 (cylindrical body 31) is then formed with an axially continuous convex area 41 for grooving, which area is formed with the plate insertion groove 4 that is of a sufficient depth even though the sleeve cylinder 3 is made thin in wall thickness.
  • the depth of the plate insertion groove 4 can be made larger than the wall thickness of the sleeve cylinder 3 (cylindrical body 31).
  • Fig. 4A is a front view illustrating an end face 3a of the sleeve cylinder 3, and Fig. 4B is a top plan view thereof, indicating the insertable printing plate 5 in a two dotted chain line.
  • Fig. 4C is a left side view of the view of Fig. 4A . It is seen that the opposite end face 3b is likewise configured because of bilateral symmetry. It is shown that the insertable printing plate 5 of a width L is wound on the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve cylinder 3 as positioned at a distance L1 inwards from the end face 3a (3b) with its grip leading and trailing ends 5a and 5b inserted in the plate insertion groove 4.
  • the plate insertion groove 4 has a width in a circumferential direction of the sleeve cylinder 3 which is narrowed as much as a size in which 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm is added to a sum of thicknesses of the grip lending and trailing ends 5a and 5b of the insertable printing plate 5.
  • the grip leading and trailing ends 5a and 5b bent diametrically and then slightly deformed circumferentially whereby portions of the deformation of the grip leading and trailing ends 5a and 5b are held against wall surfaces of the plate insertion groove 4, making them hard to come off the groove 4 while rendering it possible to reduce bounces (vibrations), noises and printing obstacles.
  • both lateral end portions of the grip leading and trailing ends 5a and 5b of the insertable printing plate 5 which are brought into overlapping each other in the plate insertion groove 4 can be pressed and fastened together by a tap bolt 7 and a printing plate retainer plate 6 over a width N against a constraint surface 4b with which the grip trailing end 5b is in contact in the plate insertion groove 4.
  • the grip leading and trailing ends 5a and 5b inserted into the plate insertion groove 4 if they may be loosened while the sleeve cylinder 3 is being rotated prevents the printing plate 5 from falling off.
  • the pressing force applicable to the printing plate retainer plate 6 can also be adjusted by increasing and decreasing the thickness of a shim 8 in the form of a washer interposed between the printing plate retainer plate 6 and the constraint surface 4b or by increasing or decreasing the tightening quantity of the tap bolt 7 without the shim 8.
  • the sleeve cylinder 3 is formed, for allowing the tap bolt 7 and the printing plate retainer plate 6 to be mounted on the constraint surface 4b, with a cutout 9a having a corner R larger than a head of the tap bolt 7 and with a cutout 9b parallel to the constraint surface 4b.
  • a lateral end edge of the insertable printing plate 5 which is at a position spaced by the distance L1 from the end face 3a lies inwards of a vertical surface of the cutout 9a.
  • the printing plate retainer plate 6 has a tapped hole 6a passing therethrough of which a thread diameter is identical to that of the tap bolt 7.
  • the body 7a of the tap bolt 7 under its head has an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the tapped hole 6a in an interval longer than the plate thickness of the printing plate retainer plate 6.
  • the thread of the tap bolt 7 interferes with the tapped hole 6a of the plate retainer plate 6 and the printing plate retainer plate 6 is restricted by a marginal part of the cutout 9a, thereby keeping the tap bolt 7 from coming off the sleeve cylinder 3.
